Honestly, it's not has bad as it sounds. I just watched the film with the U.S. audio mix on Youtube (the whole film is on there), then compared it with the Blu-ray. And you Know what? Aside from the brief sync issues, I have to say I prefer the Blu-ray track. The changes aren't huge but they do make a few plot details a little clearer and having Olivier Gruner provide the narration makes more sense than using a side character.

According to Oliver Krekel's post on this site, Pyun prefers his Director's Cut. This version features new visual effects and removes most of the narration. This cut only exists in standard definition. It's the same situation with Cyborg where he prefers his Slinger version. Though I don't believe he has disowned any cut of Nemesis like he has with Cyborg.

I'm not a huge fan of "made up" theatrical cuts unless it is truly director approved

For the most part this is still very much the theatrical cut, the footage is exactly the same, it's just a few brief dialogue changes (for the better IMO).

Here's a detailed breakdown of the different versions (minus the director's cut).

Looking over the Blu-ray again, the only sync issue that really stood out to me was at 1 hrs 11 min, it lasts for about 20 sec, if you just fix that you'll have the best release of the film. And like I said before the Licensor may have already fixed the issue. Looking around online I can't find any complaints for the U.K release from 101 films, unlike the German release.

I remember 'Breathing Fire' being above average for a DTV martial flick.

Haven't seen it over 25 years though (and I was less fussy as a kid).

Executive producer and writer Delon Tanners is Taiwanese high kicker Tan Tao-Liang.

some of these already have hd masters. Some do not.
These cult movies are the types I love. I'd enjoy to get any of these on OAR bluray. Extras are not necessary but appreciated. The most important thing to me is getting some of these out in OAR widescreen and on physical media.

-thanks for your hard work and looking forward to all you have in store.
Best of luck for great business and continued success.

My swamp thing shipped from amazon, hope it has a slip.

[trentdiesel]

Tough and Deadly and/or Back in Action both with Roddy Piper and Billy Blanks would be great too

[DR Herbert West]

Got my copy of RETURN OF SWAMP THING in today! This release looks and sounds great! Nice to finally have this on Blu-ray.

More Roddy on Blu would be awesome.

Especially Immortal Combat.

I would literally buy all of these!

Would also be interested in Jungleground (1995) with Roddy!

The slip is shrink-wrapped to the case, so I don't see why you wouldn't.

[TM2-Megatron]

Yeah, I was gonna ask.. has there been anyone that didn't get a slip with theirs? I'll probably have to end up ordering online, as I can't find a copy at a store around me, and I certainly want to make sure I get the slip.

I know when I bought Attack of the Killer Tomatoes, the slip was shrinkwrapped up as well.

[philip74]

I recceived a slipless copy of Black Eagle. Of course from Amazon

YES to all four of these! Been hoping Kino would put BULLSEYE! out for a few years now. It was one of those MGM Limited Edition MOD DVDs. Also, Roger Moore's pre-Bond Action film Crossplot is with MGM and would be a nice addition to perhaps the MVD Classics line as it's from the late '60s.

I just watched this movie Blood Games (1990) the other night it was surprisingly very entertaining and I'm glad it turned out not to be a turd.

Here's a summary from IMDB.com

"A team of softball players get lost in the woods after their bus breaks down. They get attacked, beaten, raped and murdered by some psychotic men. The women fight back with baseball bats and bows and arrows".

I would definitely buy this one on Blu-ray and it's with MGM

Does Return of Swamp Thing come with a slip and if so how is the best way to get one?

I freaking love the sheer volume of awesome, cheesy, great genre and exploitation movies were churned out in the 70s-90s. This looks amazing. How did you find it—one of the streaming services?

This is Fox and we currently don't have a deal with them right now. If we ever do get one, this will be on it.

It should. They aren't gone yet and we shrinkwrap them to the case so they don't mysteriously disappear (like the Vestron slips).
